According to the likes of Sky Sport Italia and La Gazzetta dello Sport, Thiago Motta will give Dusan Vlahovic a chance in Sunday’s Serie A match away to Cagliari, which might be the Serbian’s first league start since Randal Kolo Muani joined from Paris Saint-Germain in January. Vlahovic will start from the off for Juventus in the Serie A clash away against Calgiari on Sunday night.

This will be the first time that Vlahovic has started in the league this calendar year. His last start came on December 29 in a 2-2 draw with Fiorentina.

He missed the next two games due to injury, was reintroduced as a substitute in the following few matches, but has ultimately lost his starting spot to Kolo Muani since joining from PSG on January 23.

Since Kolo Muani’s formal announcement, Vlahovic has only made one appearance in any tournament, a 2-0 loss to Benfica in the Champions League’s final league phase.
